I don't believe Harry just made it all up. Something happened. But whether poor hapless Harry had no part in it, like he's portraying here, is a different matter.

Her comments about being “ugly with frizzy hair” is indicative of the race based society she come from. There is a constant need to conform to European standards (straight hair in this case). She brought this toxicity over here during her brief stay.

@RLScott - are you saying the Meghan brought the fashion of women with Afro hair straightening their hair to the UK in 2019 when she met Harry and it wasn't here before M or isn't still prevalent after she left ? I genuinely might have misunderstood so please explain

Covetthee · 05/01/2023 06:21

Forgot to me tion my earlier post:

their stories never sound right or match previous stuff and its just all so odd and calculated.

they spent their whole time married in the UK filming their every move (yet somehow this wasn’t captured no doubt)

Harry is quick to jump on the phone to his therapist before his wife, yet claims that his suicidal wife didn’t have access to a therapist? Really?

Then accuses William of believing the press about Meghan, the same press that will’s apparently is leaking stories to?

all these people that they have cut out of their lives for being ‘problematic’ all seem to have one common denominator.. THEM. When you keep coming across the same problems in your life then just MAYBE you have to stop and think you are the problem and not those around you.

Bring him back home dad, he's a loose cannon.

Thighlengthboots · 05/01/2023 06:25

I see the usual cliched narrative being trotted out by old ginger bollocks:
Claims he wants his brother back, then tells the world his brother assaulted him and is a bully- also accepts wads of cash for revealing that info. Wonders why aforementioned brother now doesnt want to reconcile with him.

Hmmmm, it really is a mystery Harry isnt it?- nevermind, you get on with your potato prints instead eh?

This must have been the only time in the last 4 years that Harry didn't have his Netflix camera team with him to capture the whole incident on camera.

This.

And there's no way if he was bruised and physically injured there aren't photos.

So, Meehan's book and then the photos, just in time for Coronation Weekend?

FlairBand · 05/01/2023 06:28

What will he do with his dad’s inheritance when the time comes I wonder… having already made his hundreds of millions creaming off the rf stories while they’re all alive??

MarshaMelrose · 05/01/2023 06:30

I do think it's manipulative of Harry to say that he wants his brother back when he knows his book is going to take him down.
Bearing in mind these are all prearranged and so rehearsed responses, he's planting the idea in people's head that he's the forgiving underdog so people will think so much more of him when it's revealed he's willing to put aside being "beaten up" for love of his brother.

FelicityFlops · 05/01/2023 06:31

Harry should never have left the army. It gave him routine, discipline and purpose in his own right.
However, given his background and training, why hasn't he set up his own security company/consultancy? That would, at least, have assured him and his family a regular and ongoing income.
I fear we will be subjected to more and more rehashing of insignificant events once the book and tv advances have been frittered away, unless these have been very well, and conservativel, invested - which I doubt.

@oakleaffy Yes Harry is short for Harold if your name is actually Harold, but it was made clear when Harry was born he was Prince Henry but would be called Harry, Harry being another name for Henry has historical roots Henry 8th was often referred to as King Harry or good King Hal, William would not have called him Harold unless it was a pet name

Harold should go to his Uncle Andrew and say "you derrrrty old man".......

Merrymouse · 05/01/2023 06:34

The knowledge that they had a confrontation that degenerated into a physical fight is not shocking. I don’t think it will change anyone’s opinion.

moose62 · 05/01/2023 06:35

It is so easy to sling mud at someone who you know can't or won't retaliate. Harry can finally get out all the resentment of his brother being born first in a way that really harms him. This is not a man who 'wants his brother back', this is a man who is full of seething rage and wants to make as much money as possible. Good luck Harry .....you have truly burned your bridges now.

Cariadz · 05/01/2023 06:36

Yes, he was in a combat zone shooting and likely killing Afghan insurgents. He's not some wilting flower that allows himself to be pushed around

And yet there are people here who will insist he sat in camp bastion doing nothing except waiting to put the kettle on for the real soldiers who’d been out fighting all day.

I’m no fan of his but to belittle the fact he fought in a war is beyond the pale.

Harry knows all this, and is well aware that he basically has carte blanche to make up any old shit he likes because his brother isn't in a position to do much about it.

But the RF won't stop - the press still want to sell and the RF still want to protect certain people. / stories or control other stories that don't involve M&H which means their relationship with the press will be at stake and they won't have that.

If any members of the royal family wanted to respond to H and M’s claims, the relationship the RF have with the press would not be at stake as the press/tabloids would be delighted to report on it and get more clicks.

HotChoxs · 05/01/2023 05:23

I wondered that too

Or the term raghead that he’s so fond of.

PicturesOfDogs · 05/01/2023 06:40

This story is… odd.

The only thing he’s stated happened during the argument is that ‘William is heir and he is spare’ and that W called M rude and abrasive.

But it also says they were trading insults and ‘shouting’ over each other.

So one minute he is insulting W and shouting at him, then he’s all of a sudden passively trying to make him a glass of water?

Why specifically include ‘heir and spare’, but not say the insults that were traded?

And frame it as only W was ‘piping hot’ when he’s said they were both shouting at each other?

Definitely seems like half a story being told here (and not that well)

From The Simpsons episode "Holidays of Futures Past' made in 2011, set in the future:

Lisa Simpson : My own daughter thinks I'm a ruthless tyrant, like Hitler or Prince Harry.
Homer Simpson : Oh, Bloody Harry. He brought back beheading in a big way.

He's freaking trying.

Muddays · 05/01/2023 06:44

I'm so massively bored of this tacky game show and yes, I absolutely hate myself for commenting on it but before I 'disappear' this disagreeable HarMe couple from my significantly more interesting life I have one thing to say. Love is about bringing out the best in someone and encouraging their strengths and understanding that overcoming weakness makes disaster a triumph. This couple have the barefaced cheek to get all boohoo, too much attention and privilege is making us suicidal, whilst representing charities where people have been ripped to shreds, have nothing and still keep moving forward with a stoic grin and a hell of a story to tell. I don't see a loving couple here, I see a once popular strong man reduced to a snivelling bore and the woman who says she loves him, frantically regretting being part of their downfall. You can't buy respect once it's lost. Sad. They should shut up now and enjoy their lives far far far away.

meinteresamucho · 05/01/2023 06:13

Maybe because he didn't want to get into a physical fight with PW? I wouldn't have wanted that. It doesn't seem unreasonably if the allegation is true.

Or perhaps he knew what buttons to push with William and got exactly the reaction he as hoping for which is why he managed to apparently keep his cool.

itsjustmeBobby · 05/01/2023 06:44

I dont believe a word of it. He says when he told megs she was " very sad " about it. Bullshit , if it actually happened megs would have been fuming as would any wife/ girlfriend whos hubby has been violently assaulted More like H&W had a verbal confrontation and harry being harry , permantently high , tripped over his own feet. That would explain megs reaction to his scrapes but cant be truthful in the book , someones gotta be the victim and H&M are always the victim

Bestcatmum · 05/01/2023 06:45

If I went public about my family I'm quite sure I could wangle a misery memoir book out of it that people would read avidly but you know the first thing about dealing with such a toxic mess is letting it go and creating a new life for myself alongside private therapy.
What Harry is doing is just so unhealthy.

MattDamon · 05/01/2023 06:45

I'm no royalist (it's had its day and should phased out, imo) but I don't believe it for a second.

The consistent person who has shown immense immaturity, is known for being hot-head and emotion-driven, lashes out without thinking, and attacks their family is Harry. What a horrible little cretin he has is.

It's true, but I can't reconcile the fact that a guy of his size gets knocked over without some serious force behind it.

In regards to the Harold thing, I think it’s quite likely.
We have a Gary in the family who is called Gareth by certain members (including his brother), which is not his name. His name is Gary. But it’s just a nickname, so can’t see why Harold is unbelievable.

To be honest that sounds the most honest thing that was written there. Willy and Harold. 💔
